Hey there

I've got this really weird problem with my car if I keep my foot on the throttle as if I'm

trying to hold the revs at 2000rpm it will go to something like 1800rpm then drop to approxamately 900rpm and then go back up to 1800 and will repeat this until I give it more gas sometimes hesitating to increase revs. This began happeing after a front facing plenum conversion with an 80mm throttle body. Could that have changed air/fuel ratios?

Things I've done:

adjust tps

check for airleaks(none)

check ecu codes(none)

if anyone has experienced this problem any help would be appreciated.

I should also note that this does not happen when tps has been adjusted to a higher volt setting however that results in a much higher/annoying idle

I haven't bothered with that just yet as it happened after the conversion. I will however get around to doing that. IF my dump pipe was cracked (it's stainless steel) could this cause an issue like this.

Here's something weird that happened one time I put my foot down after the drop

in rpms as mentioned above I saw my boost gauge shake rapidly between 2-5psi! This is on idle! I will double check for airleaks.

What have you done to replace the original plumb back system going from the original crossover pipe to turbo intake pipe? Without it being on the engine anymore this will happen. My drift car was doing the same problem until i put all the old cross over pipe and plumb back system back on. The guy before me owning the car removed it. Its all okay now.

You may need to configure a bov with a plumb back system for your new plenum.

Thats interesting i never thought this would be a problem as I've never ran a plumbed back bov even before the plenum, definitly worth a try though as im stumped on what else it could be.

i haven't yet tried the plumb back bov suggestion but is there anything else out of the normal i should check for? can anyone share some details on why plumbing back the bov would work? it would be good to learn from it.

How did you adjust the tps? What voltage does it reed at idle?

I turned the key on the 3rd one of the ignition barrel just before you start the engine. grounded the black tip of the voltmeter and connected the red tip with the middle(white) wire of the tps plug. Then i unscrewed the two screws of the tps and adjusted it untill the voltmeter read .45 i have been told an acceptable voltage is between .45-.55 i have not checked the tps at idle. does it make a difference? will hit back when i do get a chance to measure it.

okay so i have measured the tps at idle and it reads the same as it does when the engine is off. could an exhaust leak be causing this issue? i think i hear a ticking sound near the stainless steel dump pipe. However I don't think this would cause an issue seeing as though this seems to be related in such a way that its showing on my vacuum gauge. im also not running an o2 sensor this was removed when the car was tuned but it was done so before the front facing plenum conversion. this only happens at approx 1500 to 2000rpm i have a feeling it is an electrical fault so the next things i will try is cleaning the afm and try to put my o2 sensor back in.

      R34 Diff oil

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      99.9% of them are viscous diffs. The 0.01% are helicals. They were only option-able in the series 2, as well. I have redline heavy shockproof in my helical. It seems... fine? I don't think anyone is ever going to know until something really breaks and at that point I'm not sure anyone will blame the oil. I just chose it because it's extremely heavy duty and my car will see not-road-legal duty for it. I've also had sadness with various diff oils in the past sweating out everywhere and/or other 'fun' things, with clutch diffs. Given you have a 1.5 way on the shelf, I'd not even bother with the diff in the car and just get to tinkering with it. I would spend the $90 on oil toward the labor of someone else putting the diff in if time poor even lol.

      R34 Diff oil

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones

      No. Well, some people "seem to use redline shockproof in the diff". Most do not. I would only contemplate it if you have badly worn CW&P gears. And no. No-one in their right mind has ever put ATF into a diff. Any normal diff/gear oil of the right viscosity will do. Whatever takes your fancy. Castrol, Nulon, Penrite, Redline MT range. Whatever. It's just gears. 75W-90 or 80W-90 is typical. I think that GL-5 is hard to avoid these days, although I think that a GL-4 is probably preferred, given the vintage of the equipment. At least Redline offer a number of GL-4 oils. If you have a clutch type LSD instead of the VLSD, then of course you need a proper LSD oil. Anything from any of the same names above. If you have a helical LSD, then it does not require LSD oil, and the recco is the same as for the VLSD. You don't want the LSD friction modifiers in the oil for a non-clutch type LSD if you can avoid it.

      You may want to list it up for a little higher - This price is much lower than you may realize. Here you're pretty much selling to people who most likely already have these things on their own rigs. S chassis people eat this stuff up like you'd not believe.
